Tragically, of the 132 million children born each year, one in four is born into a family that exists on less than A$2 a day. In developing countries, one in three children is born into abject poverty and conditions of almost unimaginable suffering and need.
Out of every 100 children
• 27 suffer from malnutrition in their first five years of life
• 25 are not immunised against any diseases
• 18 have no access to clean drinking water
• 39 live without adequate sanitation
• 18 never go to school (of these, 11 are girls)
• 25 who begin 1st grade do not reach 5th grade
• 20 never learn how to read (of these, 13 are girls)
We are blessed to be a blessing!
